quently reported the following draft of resolutions: 
Whereas , Some of the officers of the Bureau of Animal In¬ 
dustry have established a veterinary school in Washington, 
which is poorly equipped, and requires but two years’ attend¬ 
ance upon instruction, and 
Whereas, It is the opinion of this Association that all col¬ 
leges awarding the degree ol Veterinary Surgeon should give 
a course extending over at least three years, be it 
Resolved, That we greatly regret the action of these offi¬ 
cers, and feel that they are doing the veterinary profession of 
this country an injury, and are retarding the progress of vet¬ 
erinary education ; be it further 
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the 
Honorable Secretary of Agriculture and to the Chief of the 
Bureau of Animal Industry.
